Not to me.

I’d rather have human created music, even when it is background music and I’m doing a primary activity that needs focus.

In other contexts, where the stakes are even lower, such as elevator music or on-hold call music AI gen music will probably have less people sneer at it.
Having a healthy cardiovascular system, like you might get from brisk walks, seems important for mental health
Accounting startups that rely on automation are doomed to fail. Customers demand perfect accounting at automation-reflective prices. It’s just not possible.

Spotify's app is bloated. I've been premium since 2014 but I'm reaching my limit of all the garbage the app has. I wish I could deactivate all podcasts and audiobooks. I don't care about it. I don't mind AI music and ghost artists but I wish looking for some sort of music would bring up playlists from actual people instead of the bubble generated AI from Spotify. I feel instead of exploring and expanding my limits when I search for music I'm just self padding myself.

ATL has this in parts for domestic flights if you're eligible for 'Digital ID'. Passport control in the US is still for the most part way behind other countries.
I would say the most salient example is MH370.

The more you read about it, the more you become in disbelief. If it was an operation, it is one of the most advanced ones that I've ever read about. They knew exactly how to deactivate beacons, avoid military radar, there was a power and communications outage (computer interference?), the airplane kept flying for another 7 hours (without detection!), there was no distress call, ... and so on, which cumulatively is extremely unlikely to occur by chance, and would speak to extremely knowledgeable and capable agents. The bodies were never found, so it is possible that the passengers were offloaded. Imagine going to those lengths just to capture one person, or a group? The only other time I've seen that level of coordination was with Edward Snowden.
Have you spent time around intentional communities? It's possible you're taking a looser meaning of the phrase than I am, but Intentional Communities have no shortage of toxicity and drama, especially since by their nature these communities filter for people for whom the 'default world' didn't work.

That's not to say the concept is bad, but it's very very easy for even a good group to rapidly devolve, the clearer heads quietly move away.

In the discussion of communities, I've come across the idea that it's better to organize around a purpose - say a farm cooperative or (historically) a religious cause. Sharing beliefs (being Like Minded) may not be enough for long term cohesion. Can you imagine living with your Blue sky cohort?
It's skewed towards what a bunch of Bay area college students and their friends eat. Seems accurate to me.
The point is that all sky-pointed bullets are NOT going only 170ft/sec.

Yes, it is reasonably established that bullets fired straight up do not regain their initial velocity on the way back down.

But, at less-than-vertical firing angles, they can retain a lot of their initial 4-figure-fps velocity, and how much is very dependent on particular trajectory, wind, bullet composition, and initial angle. Dependent enough that it's specifically outlawed in many states.

So, don't go glibly firing off skyward celebratory shots (over)confident in your understanding of the physics (or implicitly advocating it). You might be willing to take the risk, but no one else is willingly undertaking the risk you are creating.
Funny. I came here because of the same reason the first 5 commenters had: Very confusing word usage...

Q - is it that the strategy was at odds? Or was it that the software wasn’t good enough yet, so expensive bookkeepers were required to supplement?
That doesn't explain how the conversion is illegal.
This is a seemingly simple yes/no question but you have actually entered a forest.

Most things can be disabled by a pilot. Airliners are marvels of engineering and often contain a data center to maintain control of the aircraft [1]. There is only so much flexibility you want to create for your customers… and the goal is to simplify operations with safety in mind.

> I would love to, but I come from a place where intellectual pursuits are not valued, so I would lose out on that front if I moved back.

I used to think along similar lines. But I haven't found moving out of the city to be subtractive of my 'intellectual life'. If anything, it has been complementary - due to being grounded in mainstream experience again that I lost touch with in the city.

That said, I've very consciously kept those former social connections alive (I'm an hour away), as I still need semi-regular social interaction with people much smarter than me.
Sorry but music in the genre "generic background track designed to go unnoticed" is in fact fungible and interchangeable.

How does that work for identical twins?
The reason hard copies of most documents will exist for a long time -- building federated digital systems is a huge pain in the ass.

Sure, you can have a digital passport for purposes of authenticating yourself, which is operated by your national government. Will this government allow the same level of access to the embassy of North Korea or some other geopolitical adversary or just to a random sim card issuing shop in a mall oh the other side of the globe? Maybe they will in the same way corona certificates were implemented. Now will every single place that legitimately needs to have a copy of your id on file be bothered to interface with this system and all slightly incompatible versions of it provided by other governments? Probably not.

And passports are kinda sorta simple to begin with.

Andrew Ng on NeurIPS paper of the year
This appears to be in relation to J2-8243 losing all 3 hydraulic systems after the Russians fired a missile at it near Grozny and pilots appears to have used differential thrust for control since E190 lacks manual reversion. Ignore the Russian propaganda about "bird strikes" and "GPS spoofing", because their refusal to allow them to land at any of 4 airports in the area and sending them to Kazakhstan was intended to manipulate them into crashing into the Capsian to hide the evidence of their crimes. But fortunately, part of the aircraft and some of the passengers survived in spite of their attempts to murder them and then cover it up.
Also, I had to leave my passport at a consulate to get a visa added. How would that work? It seems the coordination alone would make something like moving to full digital take a long time to happen.
I agree that we are often missing in our analyses the true materialised impact of expectations by focusing on the validity of said expectations instead. Organisations, even if not laying off, are pausing hiring plans with a conviction that AI will replace some of the workers. It then becomes a self fulfilling prophecy to some extent. It doesn’t matter if it can, what matters is if it will. And to assume that people won’t place a bet is futile, as everyone does, and even if it’s wrong the market will allocate the losses to the baseline.

> AI has no ground truth for enjoyable content if not the successful works humans have made and tested already.

Yes it does, your own AI generated pieces are based in your prompt, not purely generated by AI. So they are meaningful to you, but still worthless to others. They can generate their own AI shit. What I mean is that AI content is useful if you had a hand shaping it.
I agree with you fully. Thank you for the interesting discussion.

How do you manage remote dev workstations in the cloud?
We try to balance cloud spend vs developer efficiency in our team. From time to time devs needs stronger instances (CPU/GPU/RAM/extra machine, etc) with their dev environment ready. However, the transitioning is cumbersome, although we added some scripts and automation. Machines tend to be idle a big portion of the time. Are there good solution to reduce devops burden from the devs while reducing wasted resources?
Thanks - yeah it seems like this is supported in FIDO 2.1 (but not 2.0). I suspect this is only implemented in Yubikey 5.7 and above.

Once the technology is there to support it, hopefully the user experience part can be improved with time.

I’m not sure I’d draw any general conclusions from your experience. It’s a rather broad brush.

I grew up in a very intellectual city (Waterloo) with a back yard with big wood fences and we just became experts climbing them, venturing from yard to yard collecting half a dozen kids. We’d bike all over, including to the universities (though Laurier campus didn’t feel interesting).

I moved to a very blue collar small city and it feels pretty much the same. My kids are bringing back a lot of nostalgia for me, I’ve made a lot of friends at the curling club, and I’m mentoring a local high school’s robotics team (one difference: I’ve learned that young farmers are incredible engineers).

I wouldn’t suggest that my experience is normal either, though.

Spotify is at the wrong end of the enshittification cycle.

I've experienced none of this on Deezer. They appear to still employ humans to curate playlists featuring actual artists, and as a nice bonus they support lossless audio like Spotify has been half promising for at least the last five years.
if you are ever in the middle of highway (especially if you are traveling with loved ones) when your EV suddenly reboots you will understand why one does not expect shit to work… the anxiety is unlike most thing one can experience… I think 100% reverse of your comment but talking from a different real experiences.

EVs are computers on wheels, expecting them to work during reboot is not unlike expecting vim to work during a reboot :)
The same way as it does now. The face is checked against the identity claim, not against the global lookup, which can't reliably work anyway.

I think it’s likely folly to think that the big city is only place where intellectual pursuit and learning can happen.

If there's an opportunity to open-source this code so people who can't simply migrate to one option after considering many, self-hosting might be an option at least in the interim.

It’s interesting that Apple split out music from iTunes, and has somewhat walled apps for music, podcasts, audiobooks while Spotify consolidated
Isn't that a different phenomenon? This article is about hit songs that have cheap AI covers, almost identical sounding, presumably to poach royalties from the real musicians.

The "ghost" thing is interesting too, that sounds almost like the industry from before The Beatles, when bands were just people hired by the record companies to record songs written by others, and the companies owned pretty much everything.

You can emit as many events per request as you wish, and store all of them to VictoriaLogs. But it is recommended emitting a single "master" event with all the context and useful information about the request in separate fields, which then can help debugging and analyzing the processed requests.
Lower stakes for the management maybe, but any time I'm a captive audience, I feel a strong urge to smash speakers and displays.
Well, not in the UK. Here you need a passport to partake in any significant financial activity - I had to get one to sell my flat, and you need one to open a bank account. Neither of these were needed 20 or so years ago. It's basically introducing ID cards by the backdoor, when the majority of the UK has always been against them (but civil servants and politicians love them). And all under the nebulous reason of "preventing money laundering".

I have to say though that the guy I spoke to at the Passport Office (a civil servant!) was very nice, and they did git it to me quickly. Never used it again 4 years later, though.
At the same time, some containers like Huskee cups literally start breaking down after a few years [1], so it’s not just microplastics, but you can see bigger chunks of plastic ending up in your food.

LLMs are text compression algos.
They are very good at memorising & retrieving text related to the user input.
They can even pass bar exams based on that - some misinterpret that as intelligence.

However, no amount of scaling will change a text memorisation algo into a symbolic reasoning or composability algo, both of which are necessary for progress towards AGI.

So yes, LLMs are a dead end in the quest for AGI.
However, they have their uses as a google/stackoverflow replacement.
What a stupid and flippant statement.

> I would love to, but I come from a place where intellectual pursuits are not valued, so I would lose out on that front if I moved back.

This part of choosing where to live is so important and hard to articulate. I remember when I moved from small town to small town, then finally out to Silicon Valley. The first thing I noticed was the billboards by the side of 101. They were about programming frameworks, iPhones, hackerspaces, development tools and so on... Where I came from, the billboards along the highway said things like "Don't Shake Your Baby" and "Jesus Hates Sinners" and "Lift Kits For Your Truck". The vibe of the Valley and the general interest in intellectual things made me think for the first time in my life "I'm among my own people now!"

Since then, as we all know, the vibe has changed, and I've moved away, but for a very brief special period of time, my quality of life was greatly enhanced just by being in this nexus of people who's values and interests aligned with my own.
I was triggered by the argument “Apple knows how to allow one to find one’s devices without Apple knowing where they are. It’s not that hard.” People misunderstand this as Apple having no possibility to learn the location if they wanted to. And that’s just not the case.
Jesus Christ, you have issues. It was an honest answer to your question, which no one else answered (in fact, you even got downvoted). Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. And don't assume you're not just like the people you're complaining about either. If you don't like my answer, that's your problem, not mine. But it was the best answer I could give, without bullshitting you.

And I created my account during 2016 because that was yet another period of time when I happened to be looking for work, due to the volatility of this job market. Which this time is due to the high federal interest rates, which happened under Biden. I don't idolize any politicians, but I think some are definitely worse than others. And I barely spend time on here these days because the comment quality has gone way downhill.

The red wave happened all over the world, FYI.
Sure, I'll save some time by referring to the doc while writing the code myself the old-fashioned way.
I’ve done the online process to get a visa before (India and Australia), you just upload pictures of your passport and they code a visa to your passport number.

Without a paper passport I’m not sure how that would work. They could code it to another piece of identity I guess (like your ID card), but there would still be something unless biometrics become advanced enough.

> We've slowly lobbied more people to move nearer and life is getting better with each additional participant.

When I was younger many of my friends and their friends all moved into my apt. complex. It was great.

Now that we're older, I'm in the process of fixing up a place abroad I hope that many of us can stay at once people start retiring and/or scaling back on work. My wife and I are going to move soon enough, but we've already let our friends know we have space for others. I don't mind building the beachhead :)
always so annoying to find bookkeepers at a fair price.

In particular, charging on expenses or on transaction volume isn't aligned with value generated. Instead, bookkeepers should charge on "anomalous transactions identified and corrected"

https://www.ledgerup.ai/ (a YC co) has a bookkeeping agent integrated with quickbooks. I've migrated to them after trying Fondo (also a YC co) and a local SMB bookkeeper in the past.

There's so many YC backed bookkeepers - Pilot, Afternoon, Fondo, LedgerUp

We had a system (Jenkins job on a cron and some bash) at my last job that would turn them off at night. We then provisioned aws keys that could manage the power settings. That way devs could power them on/off as needed.

At my current place we have an older set of VMware infra that is used for this. Cap vs op expense, they are not powered off.
Well, the thing is -- after doing the whole ICAO PKI into the passport (which already happened) and keeping the trace in the local government database somebody realised there is no point to issue an expensive unforgable paper copy of it, since the digital artifact bundled with it (theoretically) provides stronger security. So instead of issuing ICAO PKI into the paassport, you can just have a dumb app generating a QR code with it or A4 paper extract.
I assumed that's how it should work and was surprised they needed my passport. It was sent back with an entirely new picture page. When I've crossed borders they don't seem to know I even have a visa unless I tell them /shrug.
Except the E190 completely lacks manual reversion unlike the Boeing 737 NG. If it had, it would've been landable.

> Autism is a disorder, diagnosed in DSM V. Very few people in your life are likely to be autistic.

The autistic people in my life are all diagnosed autistic, do not presume to lecture me on my own situation. Autism has a strong genetic component, as you should be aware if you’ve taken more than a cursory glance at the topic. I am not, but I’m close enough to the “diagnosis” criteria to understand and empathise with people who are.

To suggest that all autistic people are “introverted” shows me your complete ignorance on this topic. Many autistic people are extroverted, just bad at social interactions (bad at reading social cues, body language and a host of other things). The two spheres do not overlap in the way you imply.

Also, yes autism is classed as a “disorder” and it comes with many challenges; however the way you are categorising it is demeaning and incorrect! It also comes with many strengths. I think of it more as the world was setup to make life easy for the neurotypical, and hence hard for the neurodiverse. Using words like “pathological threshold” are, regardless of clinical meaning (are you a clinician?), demeaning. I much prefer the framing of “differently wired”.

Software Engineering has a much higher than average number of autistic people. It’s welcoming to such, and most larger companies go out of their way to be accommodating. My own company has a proud autistic contingent.

It frustrates me to see such a comment as yours, reinforcing bad stereotypes and implying I am insulting someone by talking about autistic masking.
